Viennese Blood – The Golden Age of Operetta

Imagine you were in Vienna at the turn of the century, during the heyday of operetta…

It was a time when soubrettes were praised not only for their vocal talents, but also for their extremely revealing stage appearances. And the concerned Émile Zola even went so far as to say that operetta should be strangled like a harmful animal… But if you set morality aside, life can be lived quite uninhibitedly!
Because, unfortunately, the next few hours won’t always be politically correct—but they’ll certainly be amusing, whether it’s Ralph Benatzky bowing before a rain-streaked window out of sheer vanity or Emmerich Kálmán being mistaken for Franz Lehár at the customs checkpoint… That and much more awaits you this evening.

You’ll also learn interesting facts about the fashion of the time, the secrets of the Sacher Torte, and the Viennese waltz. The musical program will be elegant and sophisticated, with plenty of highlights and treats in the form of arias, melodies, and duets—from Strauss to Stolz to Lehár and Offenbach—performed in the most beautiful vocal timbres by a mezzo-soprano and a tenor… Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of operetta and join us for a peek behind the scenes of that era!
